    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Seller says "ran fine when parked". The classic phrase that spans the globe!
 
Not a fair question! To help decide whether to go for the bike or keep your wife, we would also need a picture of your wife!!..lol
 
Buy the bike .
If your missus wants you to choose , pick something you like and that you'll have fun with .
You'll be able to fix anything that's wrong with the bike , not so easy with a Grogan .
It's probably no help but , I paid about that much for a '79 GS1000S that was a real pig , got it rideable , then threw buckets of money at it . Now I've got a beautiful old bike that makes me grin when I see it just sitting in the shed . Rounding up some wanker on a new rocket ship is nearly as good as sex .
You'll be able to find all the bits you need fairly easily and there's all the expertise in the world right here .

Good luck old mate , oh , and welcome back , by the way .

Cheers , Simon .

I'm asking the same question about a DR350SE(X) that I might get first dibs on. With three bikes in the garage and only 1 1/2 riders in the house, it's a tough sell. I casually mentioned the prospect to the girlfriend at lunch, and she seemed resigned to the idea when I pointed out I had been looking for one of these for three years.

You know the answer. Sounds to me like your wife would be okay with the purchase.
 
Speaking from experience I will ride the bike a whole lot more than I ever did the exwife...:)_
 
If I could fix a woman as easily and fast as I can fix a bike....I would have both. But alas I will settle for my 7 bikes.

Now, if I find a woman with her own bike and also a fine WRENCH ( no I didn't say WENCH ) then she has my attention!!!
 
my bikes never go for a ride with out me or with out my ok must be why I love them more and am still looking at more of them
 
Most times you cant ignore a problem and expect it to just go away.....but a woman will eventually go away. Just an opinion of course.
